Discrete Element Modeling of Railroad Ballast Settlement
This paper presents findings of a railroad ballast Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) research study focused on investigating ballast settlement under repeated wheel loading. In this approach, the ballast layer is modeled as an assembly of aggregate particles, AREMA No. 24 ballast gradation with different shapes and angularities and rough surface textures. The study matrix considered three differe...
متن کاملAREMA Gradations Affecting Ballast Performance Using Discrete Element Modeling
This paper evaluates the different AREMA gradations currently in use for their effects on both ballast void space and load carrying performances using a discrete particle analysis computational technique called Discrete Element Modeling (DEM). The effect of gradation on aggregate assembly volumetric properties was first studied. Full-scale ballast layers with common gradations listed in AREMA s...
متن کاملGranular element method for three-dimensional discrete element calculations
This paper endows the recently-proposed granular element method (GEM) with the ability to perform 3D discrete element calculations. By using non-uniform rational B-Splines to accurately represent complex grain geometries, we proposed an alternative approach to clustering-based and polyhedra-based discrete element methods whereby the need for complicated and ad hoc approaches to construct 3D gra...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Finite Element Modeling of Stone Column-Improved Soft Saturated Ground
Installing stone columns in the ground is an effective improvement technique to increase the load bearing capacity and reduce the consolidation settlement of the loose or weak cohesive soils. In addition to the increase in the bearing capacity and reduction in the settlement, stone columns can accelerate the dissipation rate of the excess pore water pressure generated by the surcharge, which ex...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Different Aperture Geogrids for Ballast Reinforcement through Triaxial Testing and Discrete Element Modeling
Geogrids are commonly used in transportation applications for stabilization and reinforcement due to their higher tensile strengths compared to geotextiles as well as the stiffness improvement they provide through arresting and interlocking granular particles in the geogrid apertures. Influenced by many factors, such as the aperture shape and size of geogrid, the degree of interlocking contribu...
